It is argued that soon after the last war .v;ith England, land, could be _pur chased at - about one-fourth its sel ling price how, and the - sit* result is d attlikely to follow' thQclose of 'the-pre ent war. This is-a palpable error. There is'noanalogywhatever ~betwee the condition of ,our country now, and - condition, after the war with, England; nor can the financial `frevultSions-which, culminated in, 1838, nor the 7ide-spreo bankruptcy of l X 57, fUrnish any -guide for the solu lion. of .our present financial ex,peri - intik. 'Hitherto our revnisions have been the legitimate : result of over trading, and the-general indebtedness 'of the people and the Nation beyond their means to .yu.y. When we pur chasett More than we, produced, the balance of trade•was• in favor of for- eign , countries,. and our Ppecie--*as drained from us to pay .our foreign.

We' believe that land will be fully fifty per cent high -ear than it is now, and we loOk for the present year to witness its advance fully half that per tentage it' ,fiOt mote. Land is not now as high as it should be, taking the advance of al, most every other article of cominerce. Political teachers may weave the most plausible webs of sophistry about.finances, but =Gold is the stub born standard of-all values, and will SO remain. Land should,' therefore, '.advance with dry goods, stocks, far • fining and mining products, and all emnmonities entering into trade.— • That_it has not so advanced is owing sotely, to" the fact that-sikedation 'seeks almost every other - . elXnel of business before it strikes real . estate. Ainillion will be gambled on fancy stocks in a spec - dative tide, before a thousand seeks the more tardy bat less perilotis investment of land; and only when the inflated prices and lin: c - thin results' of the stock-boards tear startling monuments ofd ruptcy among,. the reckless o:pci will the cadent turn steady surely to land We do not predicate the , it tion-"ofrreal estate upon 'the: tive in:prease Of' the price of 'We da not belieVe that, gold' maintained for any : length-, I, above 50_ per cent. premium . is, in Otir judgment, mere 1i oscillate at about 30 per cent. above`and ' bolo* as' . 1 tive combinations may be - feet it, We, regard the etmi the government-as - firmlresta Our ability to 'sustain: our: hpa and maintain' our credit is doubtful ;land unless - most im robable reverses hould befal our 'arias, and foreign recognition of th rebels 'should involve us:in, a general war, our financial systeit may be regarded as having passed its'severesti _ordeal.
